CONFUSION OVERLOAD! ... WHO IS REPRESENTING WHOM?


 After watching the video, referenced below, it is no longer clear, does the 'US Ambassador Huckabee' represent the USA in Israel or has he morphed into an agent representing Israel?  The last time I checked, it is the US taxpayer that pays his salary.  Under his leadership, the US Embassy, apparently, did everything to block Tucker and his film crew all the way.  Their treatment, by the US Embassy, in Israel, was anything but normal, nor proper, judging from Tucker's report.

"Deep Dark Son Of A B**ch’: Jeffrey Sachs Loses Cool At Netanyahu's Iran War Push | US News"

 Don't be surprised if you find yourself in agreement with Professor Sachs!  Sachs is speaking to young people about the Israeli wars fought for them by the United States of America.  Oddly enough all of them violated the US Constitution, because the US was not under attack and there was never an immediate danger to the US, in any of these conflicts.

 "American economist Jeffrey Sachs launches a fierce critique of U.S. foreign policy, accusing Washington and President Donald Trump of misleading the public over wars in the Middle East, including Iran. He questions whether American democracy truly functions on life-and-death decisions, claims wars were sold through narratives and focus groups, and argues interventions from Iraq to Syria were based on phony pretenses. Sachs also criticises regime change operations, CIA secrecy, and what he calls a “game” of power politics. He warns America’s greatest risks come from within, not from China."

"Director of ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ rejects Berlinale award"

Filmmaker 'Kaouther Ben Hania' is without a doubt a woman of principles.  She told a story about the ongoing cruelty in Gaza, for some time now.   Without question, she did the right thing; her film makes sure that the world can witness this needless tragedy forever.

"The director of "The Voice of Hind Rajab" declined to accept an award at the Berlin International Film Festival this week after an Israeli general was recognized at the same event.

Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania chose not to receive the "Most Valuable Film” award at the "Cinema for Peace” gathering on Monday, which took place alongside the festival and left the trophy behind.

In her remarks, she said she felt a sense of responsibility rather than gratitude, using the moment to make a statement about justice and accountability for Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza in 2024, while rescuers attempting to reach her were also fired upon.

"Justice means accountability. Without accountability, there is no peace.

"The Israeli army killed Hind Rajab; killed her family; killed the two paramedics who came to save her, with the complicity of the world’s most powerful governments and institutions.

"I refuse to let their deaths become a backdrop for a polite speech about peace. Not while the structures that enabled them remain untouched,” she said.

"So tonight, I will not take this award home. I leave it here as a reminder. And when peace is pursued as a legal and moral obligation, rooted in accountability for genocide, then I will come back and accept it with joy."

Ben Hania added that Hind’s death was "not an exception, it's part of a genocide,” criticizing political figures who describe large-scale civilian killings as "self-defense” or "complex circumstances” while undermining demonstrators.

"Peace requires justice and accountability, not glossy slogans," she said.

The "Voice of Hind Rajab" is based on the true story of Hind Rajab, who was trapped in her family car on Jan. 29, 2024, after it came under Israeli army fire in Gaza City and was found dead after nearly two weeks of uncertainty.

Hind was traveling with her family, including her 15-year-old cousin Layan Hamadeh, fleeing fighting in northern Gaza, when they came under Israeli fire, according to the Palestine Red Crescent.

The film centers on the audio recording of Hind’s final phone call to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, in which she pleaded for help.

The incident drew global criticism after reports emerged that Israel had initially sought to deny her death, along with claims that the killing was unjust."

Hopefully this film, in question, can be viewed soon on YouTube.

"Gallup will no longer track presidential approval ratings after nearly 90 years"

 One can assume Presidential performance has reach such a low that continuing this analytical opinion study can no longer be described with words and numbers.  From here on in presidents will get a social promotion because Gallop, apparently, no longer has the nerve to tell the truth any more; it could land them into hot water?  So much for freedom of expression.  The real press in Germany, during the Third Reich, had a similar fear, no doubt.  Although there are other opinion polls, the Gallop poll was the most respected by the people.

Feb. 11, 2026Updated Feb. 12, 2026, 12:38 p.m. ET"
 

"Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval, the analytics firm confirmed on Feb. 11.

Founded by George Gallup in 1935, the Washington, DC-based management company began tracking the president's job performance 88 years ago.

Gallup told USA TODAY it will no longer publish "favorability ratings of political figures," a decision it said "reflects an evolution in how Gallup focuses its public research and thought leadership."

A statistician and founder of the American Institute of Public Opinion, Gallup first sent pollsters across the United States during the Depression era to ask people whether they approved or disapproved of how the nation's commander-in-chief was handling his job.

Since its inception, journalists have used the polls to disseminate that information to the public. In addition to tracking a president's popularity, the polls also reveal partisanship and other rapid public opinion moves while a president is in office.

The change is part of "a broader, ongoing effort to align all of Gallup’s public work with its mission," the company wrote in an email. "For nearly a century, Gallup’s U.S. polling has provided rigorous, independent insight into the American people − their perspectives, values and lives. Leadership ratings have been part of Gallup’s history. At the same time, the context around these measure has changed.

Gallup said the ratings are now "widely produced, aggregated and interpreted, and no longer represent an area where Gallup can make its most distinctive contribution."

"Our commitment is to long-term, methodologically sound research on issues and conditions that shape people’s lives," the company wrote, adding that its work will continue through the Gallup Poll Social Series, the Gallup Quarterly Business Review, the World Poll and more.

It was not immediately known what other factors led up to the company's decision."
